Nothing on the Meng Chieftain, saw the Takom kits but admittedly I didn't watch it all. Cheers Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 AFAIK all the information gathered for Meng was passed to Takom with the movement of personnel from one to the other. There will be an example on the Leicester Modellers stand at the IPMS Newark show for those interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it also true that Meng or Takom people were working in Trumpeter before splitting to form their company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Meng have just updated their website with more on the Chieftain. http://www.meng-model.com/new.php?id=493 Glad I held off on the Takom kits as this will be interesting. they might get the lower hull shape right.

I don't know about that or whether the transfer of information was intentional or not We might have a decent choice here! It certainly seems that way! Here's to hoping they do different variants.

Phil Evans Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 An ARV or ARRV would be nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads203 Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Now this is getting really good, looks like they have got the hull shape right. One to wait for I fear. The 3d renders look good, and they state it will be a MK10 for the first release. http://www.meng-model.com/new.php?id=495 Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsPhil Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Looking forward to this one, I'm building the Takom kit currently and I have to say I'm slightly underwhelmed. Overall it's a good kit, with nice detail, but the sprue attachment points are in some irritating places and the fit, especially around the turret was a bit iffy.

Nick Belbin Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Been a few months since this thread last ran. Is the Meng Chieftain still progressing?? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
